Currently reading: How to Win at Chess by Levy Rozman 📚 I’ve always enjoyed chess but apart from knowing the rules & some basic opening & endgame principles, I’ve never really understood the game. So far this book feels pitched a little below my level—though I’m still in the “beginner” chapters—but Rozman... micro.andrewbelfield.com

@drewbelf This was below my level as well, but I like Levy and wanted to support him. I thought he did a great job. I'm an ardent adult chess improver, so if you ever want recommendations, I'm happy to share some of the wheat to be found amongst the chess chaff. :)

@clorgie I'd be glad to take whatever recommendations you offer!

@drewbelf Sorry this took so long...as you will see, it morphed into a lengthy page, still in need of editing. It was good for me anyway :) Take my advice with the usual grain of salt---I'm a patzer---and with the caveat that I'm not focused on improving at blitz or faster time controls at all. I'm too old! Also, I believe playing games and analyzing them without a computer (initially, anyway) is as important as training, though I strangely enjoy training more than playing, so taking pleasure in the learning process has trumped actual play! :) → mini.clorgie.me/chess-res...
